Lasers are very well, and make cool toys. My cat loves to chase the little red spot on the carpet! But if you're talking about scanning or diffusing the beam, aren't you defeating the purpose of using a laser. If you want a cone, use a super- bright (...)

Nice call! And thanks for the link. I was thinking that looked like a chin guard, but couldn't imagine another SW helmet being made by TLG. Must have been a Lucas thing (or another reason to buy TLG's B-wing). -John Van Christopher Tracey (...) (27 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hmmm, there's a mast base, a thick lower section with a built-in base, a medium section, a skinny top section, and a "technic" section (the Armada Flagship uses this). I haven't really experimented with trying to get a precise size. I tend to (...) (27 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) A-wing and B-wing pilots had different flightsuits than the X-wings, Y's and snowspeeders. Here's a link to a picture of the original B-wing action figure, which I imagine the LEGO version would look similar to. (URL) (27 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Thanks for pointing this out. Much more info on the B-wing here. I like how the front and back portions of the cockpit rotate around the center part. And the windscreen is on a hing, so it will open nicely. Can someone with an Essential Guide tell (...) (27 years ago, 8-Oct-99, to lugnet.starwars)
